This will have to be fast. But here's a quick update.
A week ago Friday, hours before we were supposed to fly out to go to Disney World with my brother and his family, I was offered a job I had interviewed for the previous Monday. And the job, let me tell you, is fantastic. I am going to be the music advisor at BYU. If any of you visited your advisors in your advisement center, that's basically me. The School of Music requires all their students to visit with me at least each year, so that's a lot of appointments. Today, on my second day, I met with about 10 students. There's still a lot to learn, so it's a little overwhelming to try and jump into with both feet. I'm really excited though.
The bummer part is that Royce flew back to Texas and he won't be coming here until next week. And then he's going with his family to Idaho to pick up his brother from his mission. So we won't really be together for like another week and a half. We haven't been apart since we got married, so it's pretty heart-breaking. You should all shed a tear for us. I really do miss him though. Talking on the phone just isn't the same. But hey, it's only a couple of weeks. Some people have to separate for more than a year--I think of all these women whose husbands have been in Iraq for what must seem like forever, and then I feel very blessed.
So, there's our story. If we're a little out of touch the next few weeks it's just because we're trying to get moved and settled. Crazy times.
